I just traded my 2014 CRV-EXL for a 2026 CRV-EXL. Although I love all the new safety features, there were some areas that I felt that Honda was cutting corners. 1- There is no pocket behind the drivers seat. They only put one behind the passenger’s seat. 2- There is no XM radio 3- It didn’t come with the retractable cargo cover 4- There is no storage below the console near your feet. 5- The chrome wheels were not offered on the EXL - only black. 6- The Apple car play doesn’t always work. 7- There is no garage door opener feature

Loving our 2026 Honda CRV-EX

We're retired, so big investments require a lot of thought & research before we spend our hard-earned retirement nest egg! Our Hyundai Kona was getting up in miles (almost 100K) so it was time to purchase a new vehicle, but we wanted an AWD SUV that was highly rated, reliable & long-lasting. After doing the research & test driving, there was one clear winner-the Honda CRV. We purchased a 2026 CRV EX last week & we love it!
